Zucchini Pasta with Lemon Garlic Shrimp

At the point when my mother was in Alaska two or three years back, she brought a whole cooler of crisp fish home and I was the smarty pants who volunteered to get her at the airplane terminal.

In any case, it was her many packs of crisp shrimp that was the driving force for this formula quite a while back. Since it incited me to refresh an old most loved pasta formula – shrimp scampi and linguini – to make it sans gluten, sans grain, paleo and all around sound.

This zucchini pasta with lemon garlic shrimp is a heavenly, sans gluten (and obviously low-carb) form of shrimp scampi and linguini. Customary pasta is supplanted with zucchini noodles or zucchini pasta for a lighter, more advantageous, more veggie-pressed and nutritious dinner.

Yet, in case you're new to the universe of zucchini as pasta substitution, this Zucchini Pasta with Lemon Garlic Shrimp is a fab spot to begin. It's so darn simple.

INGREDIENTS

• 4 medium zucchini
• 1.5 lb (approx 30) raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp butter or ghee
• 1 lemon, juice and zest
• 1/4 cup white wine (or chicken broth)
• 1/4 cup chopped parsley
• pinch of red pepper flakes
• salt and pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS

1. Wash and cut the ends of the zucchini. Using a spiralizer, make the zucchini pasta. Then, set aside.
2. Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in one flat layer and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for one minute without stirring, so the bottom side gets a little crispy.
3. Add the chopped garlic, then stir the shrimp for another minute or two to cook the other side. Use a large spoon or tongs to remove the shrimp to a plate.
4. Add the butter, lemon juice and zest, red pepper flakes and white wine to the pan. Bring to a simmer for 2-3 minutes while stirring.
5. Stir in the parsley, then add the zucchini pasta and toss for 30 seconds to warm it up. Add the shrimp back to the pan and stir for another minute. Serve immediately.
